That is your characterisation of it. However, that did not happen in this case. Tony Holohan wrote up the letter of intent. Tony Holohan negotiated with the university, and with you, the conditions in regard to his secondment. Is that normal practice for such negotiations? Ms Quinn's finding is that such persons should not be personally involved in the negotiation of personal university partners and that any possible research funding should not be linked to a possible secondment to a university.
